Chiefs-Broncos scouting report

However, their wins against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions paired with the loss of the Broncos has made it possible for them to close the gap. You don’t bust a season just to improve your draft stock, but it brings us to the next point. Coverage of this game airs on CBS beginning at 4:25 pm ET from Sports Authority Field at Mile High. Denver is 7-0 against Kansas City with Manning under center (since 2012) and each of the seven wins have been by at least a touchdown.

The Denver Broncos come off of their first loss of the season against the Indianapolis Colts; however, the Chiefs come off of back-to-back wins. For the trend to continue, he must rely on a Demaryius Thomas, his multiple tight ends and a better running game.

And Houston, one of the clear leaders on the team, offered his message to the locker room with a view to handle matters the Chiefs can control.

Peyton Manning has never lost to the Chiefs in a Broncos uniform.

All that remains for the Chiefs to accomplish in the final eight games of the regular season surrounds taking care of business.

Now with their playoff hopes hanging in the balance, the Chiefs will face the Broncos again, hoping to rectify their early season errors. It seems like it will be hard for the Chiefs to throw the ball down the field, but if they can move Maclin over to Roby’s side from time to time, Smith will take his shots.

Left guard Benn Grubbs will miss his second consecutive game with a neck injury.

And rookie tight end James O’Shaughnessy has been ruled out with a foot injury.

In my opinion, the one name that really stands out is Allen Bailey.

The Broncos have touted their depth in the league’s No. 1 defense all season. The Chiefs are also without Charles, who tore his ACL back in Week 5.

Denver leads the league with 30 sacks – on pace to surpass the team record of 57 set in 1984 – but will be without sack leader DeMarcus Ware due to a back injury which could sideline him into December.

The Broncos, thanks to late heroics from Manning and a timely late fumble by Jamaal Charles, started the Chiefs’ run of five losses in a row back in September, winning 31-24. The Broncos are also unsure of the status on Emmanuel Sanders, who is dealing with an ankle injury and is a game-time decision.

There will come a time this season where the Broncos offense will come alive and that time is very near. “However, as we’ve seen with Peyton Manning throughout his entire National Football League career, doing the unprecedented is just the norm for him”. A win by Kansas City keeps them in the AFC Wild Card hunt.

In the first meeting between these two teams, the Chiefs held the Broncos to 61 yards on the ground.

The Chiefs’ offense on the other hand, must execute consistently if they wish to stand a chance. As long as they can keep their heads.

Things are not going to be easy for the Denver Broncos from here on out.

Many believe Colin Kaepernick would be a good fit in Denver, with Fansided writer Jon Schlosser speculating that Kaepernick would be the ideal fit for coach Gary Kubiak’s system.

“You’ve got to get your young guys ready to play, you have to challenge them in practice, you have to be willing to get the right people and play them in games, ” Kubiak said.

“Obviously, our defense has done a great job all year”, said Manning.
